Care and health

relief amount

In short and in plain language

The relief amount is money for people who are cared for at home. It comes from long-term care insurance.

It is meant for a set purpose. It can pay for approved help and support.

Relatives often ask about it, such as for help in daily life.

The care fund or a care adviser can tell you what applies in your case.
